Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian frowned deeply. "I didn't expect it to be this serious..."

Xie Jingyao reached out and put his arm around Si Nian's waist, pulling her into his embrace. He rested his chin on Si Nian's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "If you care about me, then break up with your lover as soon as possible. Seeing him hanging around in front of you annoys me."

Si Nian listened to Xie Jingyao's words and felt that something was off. It was as if she was a scumbag who played with his feelings and was not responsible for them.

Si Nian stayed with Xie Jingyao in the ward for a while, and only left after he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After leaving the hospital, Si Nian went to the police station to report the incident.

When the orchestra caught fire, she had ample time to safely leave the dressing room to retrieve the sheet music, but the door to the dressing room was maliciously locked from the inside.

This person was clearly after her.

This level of aggression is no different from attempted murder.

……

Chen Bitong looked at Lin Ziheng, who was building Lego on the side, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

It's a real pity that the fire didn't take Si Nian's life.

However, she received an unexpected surprise during the fire: the relationship between Xie Jingyao and Si Nian has now completely aroused Lin Tinghan's suspicion.

In fact, she knew from the beginning that Si Nian and Xie Jingyao had an unusual relationship.

She saw a video of Xie Jingyao looking for Si Nian in the lounge during Si Nian and Lin Tinghan's wedding.

She doesn't know who sent her that video anonymously.

Out of consideration for Xie Jingyao's status, she did not leak the video.

The anonymous sender sent her the video, clearly intending to use her as a scapegoat to offend the Xie family.

She's not that stupid.

Although she did want to drive a wedge between Si Nian and Lin Tinghan.

But we absolutely must not do things that would offend the Xie family.

Now that Xie Jingyao has stepped forward to rescue Si Nian from the fire, anyone with eyes can see that something is wrong.

This time, she didn't even need to say anything; Lin Tinghan should understand what was going on on his own.

Her only worry now is whether someone will find out that she was the one who locked Si Nian's lounge door from the outside.

Just as Chen Bitong was pondering how to completely extricate herself from the situation, Lin Tinghan suddenly appeared.

Seeing the other person rushing towards her, Chen Bitong's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "What's wrong, Tinghan?"

Lin Tinghan reached out and brushed Chen Bitong aside, acting as if he hadn't seen her, and walked straight towards Lin Ziheng.

"Hengheng, I have a question for you."

Lin Ziheng, holding the Lego set, looked up at Lin Tinghan and asked, "What is it, Dad?"

Lin Tinghan hesitated for a moment before asking, "You said Aunt Niannian had an affair with a man. Do you know what happened between her and that man afterward? Did they get together? Or...?"

Lin Ziheng tilted her head and thought, "This... Hengheng doesn't know. Hengheng only remembers that Dad was very sad and upset. He was hurt and suffered a lot by a bad woman. Later, Mom stayed by Dad's side and redeemed him."

Lin Tinghan's expression turned strange for a moment.

He pressed on, unwilling to give up, "Then, when you were with your father later, did you see Aunt Niannian again at his house?"

Lin Ziheng shook his head. "No."

Lin Tinghan released Lin Ziheng weakly.

He even wondered if he was going crazy, actually hoping to get answers from a child who was only a few years old.

Chen Bitong, who had been listening nearby, stepped forward and said, "Tinghan, perhaps Niannian and President Xie are innocent. After all, Hengheng is still a child, and he can't take responsibility for what he says."

"That's precisely why he finds it hard to lie, isn't it?"

How could a four-year-old child possibly have the complete logic to falsely accuse Si Nian of cheating on her with any man?

Hearing the doubts emanating from Lin Tinghan's mouth, Chen Bitong suppressed the smile on her face.

"Tinghan, no matter what, you still have me. I will stay with you."

Lin Tinghan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

After pondering for a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "In Niannian's heart, do you think Zhou Huai is more important, or am I?"

"Well... Zhou Huai and Niannian are each other's only family and grew up together. Their bond is something that few others can surpass."

Lin Tinghan's expression darkened.

Chen Bitong wanted to continue stirring things up, but the ward door was turned away at that moment.

Two people in police uniforms walked straight toward Chen Bitong and then showed their identification.

"We are police officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. You are hereby summoned to the police station for investigation on suspicion of malicious arson and intentional assault."
